Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

[Carasmw]

Lisbon - Casablanca - Barcelona? I’d rather buy a separate ticket outside the OWA if I had to! It’s a very long way for a very short distance!

Otherwise 5 stopovers and the routing seems fine.

Thanks, it was the dept & arr times that suited best. Otherwise via Madrid and I don't think the distance / timing was any better.

I've been looking at this itinerary for far too long and have gone cross eyed

@Mr H
Sorry thought it was clear - did I get the surface sector from Frankfurt to Munich wrong? Should that be considered another stopover?

You can suck it up and take Vuelling direct. Or look at TAP. Just ignore the OWA for that leg.

Thanks - will remove from the OWA.

Do I have the surface sector from Frankfurt to Munich correct or is that also considered another stopover?

The stopover is in FRA. Surface sector is fine.

Not sure whether Mr H was reading on a mobile or something that cropped the column stating transit/stopover?

I was reading on my phone and the third column was not visible - sorry. Looks fine.

Of course! Thank you, much appreciated

Would the Barcelona surface section also be considered a stopover?

The two surface sectors are the same stopovers as the ones listed for their preceding flights.

Thanks, I'm not sure why I'm struggling with the surface sector bit but I am. Also need to find another way home now or just transit in Tokyo

You could do another japanese city, Osaka for example. Then fly Osaka-Tokyo (transit)-Australia as the final legs.

Love that suggestion, thank you

Maybe not the right thread so apologies, but Is it just me, or has Qantas pretty much replaced Classic Rewards with Classic Plus? I remember this discussion on another thread (just can’t locate it) where it was suggested the availability of Classic Rewards Reward flights would slowly diminish to virtually non existent lol.

They haven't replaced - they are just slowly sucking the value out of Classic Rewards through less availability and higher charges.

Basically squeezing every bit of profit out of the FF points scheme that they can whilst people are still points obsessed.

Hi I am considering OW RTW for the first time - using points . However the Oneworld FAQ says it cant be done at all at the moment. Can anyone please advise why or when this may be restored please ?
